TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Aydin Z AU - Sengupta AK AB - Numerous concerns about possible effects of compressed work schedule on sleep, alertness and well-being of the shift workers have been studied by researchers. Until now, there have been a few studies performed with permanent shift schedules compared to rotating shift schedules. Also protective services are one of the populations that work round the clock, but have received less attention. This report presents the results of an ongoing study of New Jersey Institute of Technology's (NJIT) Police Department staff (N=76), to examine how 8 and 12 hour permanent shift schedule affects their alertness, sleep and health. The study generated a questionnaire survey based on the Survey of Shift workers (SOS) to evaluate the outcomes of permanent shift schedules on workers. The approval of the Institutional Review Board was obtained before the survey was administered. In addition to the demographic questions, the survey contained 5 questions on alertness and workload, 17 questions on sleep habit and sleep quality, and 7 questions on health, wellbeing and satisfaction. Till now, 10 participants from 12 hours shift, and 18 participants from 8 hour shift have completed the questionnaire survey. Significant preliminary results are as following. Participants are predominantly male (83%), and their mean (sd) experience as a shift worker on the current shift systems is 5(4.85) years. In a five point scale of 1 to 5, the mean (sd) of workload is rated at 3.48(0.63), which corresponds to "average to heavy" workload. Alertness is measured on a five point scale, 1 being very alert and 5 being very sleepy. The mean alertness score at the late-stage of the shift is 2.37, which is worse than both the early-stage 1.75 and the mid-stage 1.89 of the shift. Alertness is also consistently scored poorer for 12 hour shift as compared to 8 hour shift. For the first, middle and late stage of the shift, the mean alertness scores are 2.10, 2.30 and 2.80 for 12 hour shift, and 1.44, 1.67, 2.17 for 8 hour shift, respectively. Participants rated their sleep quality on a 4-point scale, 1 being high quality and 4 being poorest quality. Three sleep quality indicators, for which the mean score exceeded the critical score of 2, are: waking up earlier than intended, negative effect of overtime, and insufficient sleep. The mean scores for the above three sleep quality indicators are 2.30, 2.40 and 2.10 for 12 hour shift, and 2.28, 2.11 and 1.72 for 8 hour shift, respectively. Sleep quality indicators are also consistently scored poorer for 12 hours shift. With a critical score of 2, in a 1-4 point scale, frequency of pain in back-neck, and headache scored, 2.40 and 2.00 for 12 hour shift, and 1.67 and 1.72 for 8 hour shift. Almost all studies reported that satisfaction with 12h shift is higher than 8h shift schedule (Di Milia, 1998; Paley et al.; 1998 and Smith et al., 1998) and so is in ours; 70% participants of 12 hour shift, as opposed to 50% of the 8 hour shift, reported "definitely satisfied" with their shift schedule. The current results strongly indicate decreasing level of alertness, and increasing sleep and health problems associated with 12 hours shift schedule. We hope to conclude surveying the majority of the 76 members of the police department within the next month and then perform statistical analysis of the outcomes. We believe that this study will fill the gaps in understanding the effects of fixed and compressed work shifts for protective service population.

TY - Thesis AU - Daigle KL AB - This inductive, exploratory study aimed to increase our understanding about the parental leave and return to work process. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to identify how expectant mothers make decisions about parental leave before they take leave, to identify personal and workplace factors that predict expectant mothers' decision-making about parental leave pre-leave, and to understand how expectant mothers and employers plan ahead at work and in their career for taking leave and returning to work. I constructed semi-structured interview questions to address these research questions. I used an exploratory qualitative analysis method to analyze the data. The research team coded the data through first-level and second-level strategies, and then I identified major themes. The six main findings from the themes are 1) the monetary cost of things (e.g., childcare) in relation to household income played a major role in planning and decision making for parental leave, 2) participants varied in their perceptions on how much of a role their coworkers and supervisors play, 3) qualification for parental leave benefits (e.g., such as qualifying for Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits) or available sick or vacation time strongly influenced plans for when to take leave and for how long, 4) participants believe that supervisors and leaders in organizations can better support pregnant working women by supporting paid leave, knowing more about the policies and procedures around leave, and more flexibility around work hours and location, 5) participants expressed, and it became a clear theme, that each pregnancy and work situation around parental leave is different, and 6) culture may or may not play a role in the experience of parental leave. These data may be a foundation to inform the development of interventions to help expectant mothers and their employers navigate this process successfully.

Assessment of Total Worker Health® strategies as indicators of organizational behavior in small business..

TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Tenney L AB - Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that a more holistic approach is needed to optimize worker health, safety, and well-being in businesses of all sizes. Job injuries and fatalities persist at unacceptably high rates (Concha-Barrientos 2005). The workforce, like the rest of society, suffers from chronic health conditions that are both related to work-related and non-work factors, also at increasing rates (Sorensen 2011). Worker well-being is gaining traction as a unifying central objective in the occupational safety and health field that can be achieved by enhancing the physical workplace environment, including organizational level policies and strategies that help shape a culture of well-being the contributes to the nature of work and the work experience (Schill 2013). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Total Worker Health® (TWH) approach is defined as policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention efforts to advance worker well-being. While research on TWH approaches hold promise for establishing new ways of meeting the needs of workers in small businesses, most TWH intervention studies to date have been conducted in large organizations, with little evidence to support the generalization of results to the small business setting (McCoy 2014, Newman 2015). Our understanding of the current practices in small businesses and of the barriers to adoption, effectiveness, and sustainability of TWH programs remain extremely limited. Objective: In order to identify potential opportunities to improve OSH solutions in small businesses, the current study characterizes current TWH practices across multiple industrial sectors and across the spectrum of organization sizes. We hypothesized that larger businesses offer TWH programming than do smaller enterprises. In considering TWH integration, we hypothesized that businesses that address workplace safety would be more likely to also address health promotion, regardless of business size. Our study objective was to conduct a cross-sectional assessment of the adoption of Total Worker Health® (TWH) policies and practices by business size and evaluate extent and associations of their safety and health policies and programs. Methods. We conducted an analysis of 382 businesses that participated in an assessment, advising, and certification program, Health Links(TM). We measured organizational adoption of policies, programs, and strategies to advance the health, safety, and well-being of workers. Organizations were scored on six benchmarks: organizational supports, workplace assessment, health policies and programs, safety policies and programs, employee engagement, and evaluation. Results. Among the 382 participating businesses, 78 (20%) were microbusiness (2 to 10 employees); 133 (35%) were small businesses (11 to 50 employees); 71 (19%) were medium sized businesses (51-200 employees), and 100 (26%) were large businesses (> 200 employees). The six benchmark scores were statistically significant associated with business size. Larger businesses were more likely to score higher across each Health Links benchmark indicating they are implementing more TWH strategies. The mean score for each of the benchmarks were significantly different among the four size categories: organizational support (p=0.003); workplace assessments (p <0.001); health policies and practices (p<0.001); safety (p<0.001); engagement (p=0.004); evaluation (p<0.001). Conclusions. While small businesses are implementing TWH, the level of implementation differs by business size. The smaller the organization, the greater the opportunity to address safety as a priority. Practical interventions, as well as dissemination and implementation research, should take business size into account to ensure TWH is both effective and sustainable in meeting the needs of employees. Discussion: Small businesses are implementing TWH, and the level and type of implementation differs by business size. Interventions, as well as dissemination/implementation research, should take business size into account to ensure TWH is both effective and sustainable in reaching employers and meeting the needs of employees. Future research is needed to understand what community, organizational, and leadership factors drive the most change for improving employee health, safety, and well-being outcomes.

Schwatka, Natalie V. "Evaluation of a small business Total Worker Health leadership program." (2019) Schwatka, Natalie V. "Evaluation of a small business Total Worker Health leadership program." , 2019 Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Schwatka, Natalie V. AB - Introduction. Leadership is a critical component of how a business develops and implements Total Worker Health (TWH) policies, programs, and practices. Business leaders are positioned to develop and communicate their vision for TWH and allocate resources. Ultimately, they are responsible for ensuring that business practices align with their vision. This is important, because several meta-analyses demonstrate that leadership is associated with several health, safety, and well-being outcomes. However, workplace health and safety leadership intervention research is in its infancy and few intervention studies exist. This presentation will describe a small business TWH leadership development and evaluation study and discuss preliminary results. In the context of small business, our research shows that senior leaders play a pivotal role in influencing TWH policies, programs, and practices, but they lack key skills to be successful TWH leaders. It is important to develop TWH leadership training in the small business context because smaller firms have fewer TWH policies and programs, and their employees are at risk for poor health and safety outcomes. The aim of our study is to evaluate the following hypotheses: Hypothesis1: Leaders improve their TWH leadership practices from before to after the TWH leadership program. Hypothesis2: Leaders meet their TWH leadership goals after participating in the TWH leadership program. Hypothesis3: H1 & H2 relationships are moderated by leaders' readiness for change before the TWH leadership program such that leaders higher in readiness for change will observe greater improvements than leaders who are lower on readiness for change. Methods. We developed the TWH leadership program as part of the Small+Safe+Well (SSWell). We are actively recruiting small businesses (<500 employees) from a variety of industries to participate. This presentation will describe the TWH leadership program including training components, evaluation methods, and preliminary results. Results from the larger SSWell study will not be discussed. Program components. One owner/senior manager representing a unique small business was invited to participate in the TWH leadership program. They were able to bring one other individual from their organization (e.g., safety/wellness coordinator) if they wished. The 10-hour program was spread out over four months and included in-person and virtual components. First, leaders reviewed and reflected on TWH business- and employee-level TWH assessment results. Second, leaders participated in a 6-hour in-person training session with a small (approx.15-20) cohort of other small business leaders where they set at least three goals to work on over the next three months. Finally, for three months, leaders participated in an online, social goal-setting platform and three virtual, one-on-one coaching sessions. Measures. We are evaluating the program using pre-post survey data, website use data from the goal setting platform, and post-program qualitative interviews. Before the in-person training, leaders completed a survey containing questions about their TWH leadership practices (developed by researchers) and change readiness- stage, need, efficacy, and personal valence of change and training instrumentality and motivation (developed by other researchers). After they finished participating in the goal-setting platform and coaching sessions, they were asked about their TWH leadership practices in a survey. We also collected goal success information from the online goal-setting platform. Finally, after completing the program, we interviewed each leader 1) to understand their reactions to the program and 2) to learn about the ways in which they have changed their business's TWH practices and culture as well as their own health. Analysis. We will use linear mixed modeling with a random intercept for leader to compare self-reported TWH leadership practice responses from before to after the program (H1). We will evaluate change readiness as a moderator of this change by including it in the model as a covariate and as an interaction with time (H3). Goal attainment (H2) will be evaluated by calculating the percent of successful goals completed within the goal-setting platform. All qualitative interviews will be content analyzed by two researchers to determine themes in leaders' responses to each of our questions. Results. As of January 2018, we completed two cohorts of leaders and will complete two more cohorts by Summer 2019. In total, we expect to be able to share results from 47 leaders from 30 organizations. The organizations represent service (50%), public administration (17%), and retail (10%) industries and 20% of them are from rural communities. The businesses have on average 45 employees (Range=4-430). Results will be available to present by the time of the conference. Conclusions/practical implications. Our study contributes to the TWH literature in several ways. First, it describes the first TWH leadership program evaluated in the empirical literature. Second, it focuses on underserved workplaces- small business. Third, we will be able to put our findings into context by evaluating leaders' readiness for change. In future research we plan to evaluate how the TWH leadership program impacts business and employee outcomes such as changes to TWH adoption and implementation, employee morale, retention, and health/safety.

AB - Employee engagement is a critical component of how a business develops and implements Total Worker Health (TWH) strategies, including policies and programs. Safety and health climates (perceptions of company commitment through consistency between espoused vs. enacted strategies) is also an important engagement factor. Organizational resources, defined in the present study as both business safety/health strategies and safety/health climates, are fundamental to TWH. Through organizational resources, businesses aim to facilitate the engagement that is necessary to produce desired outcomes of better health, safety, and well-being. Employee motivation is an indicator of engagement. Previous research indicates that safety/health strategies and climates are key motivation factors. However, Gagne et al. argue that it is important to differentiate between autonomous and controlled types of motivations, as opposed to total motivation, as each differentially impact performance and well-being. In the present study we evaluate three kinds of motivation - intrinsic, identified regulation, and external motivation. Understanding how TWH strategies and climate are related to different types of motivations is novel. We assess how both health protection and health promotion constructs can contribute to a stated need to better understand the benefits of a TWH approach. Additionally, we assess multiple climates as well as the combined effect of strategies and climate on motivation. Methods. We measured safety (e.g., hazard control) and health (e.g., stress management program) strategies with the online Health Links™ Healthy Workplace Assessment. An individual from the represented organization including executives, human resource professionals, health and safety professionals, and other administrators completed the assessment. Employee data was collected through a health and safety culture survey. This survey used Lee et al.'s safety climate measure, Zweber et al.'s health climate measure, and an adapted Conchie et al.'s safety motivations measure that assessed the three kinds of safety motivations and the three kinds of health motivations. We used linear mixed models with a random intercept for organization to test the hypothesized relationships between strategies, climates, and motivations. Our outcome variables were the three safety motivations and the three health motivations. We first evaluated the associations between safety climate and the three safety motivations independently (H1a) as well health climate and the three health motivations independently (H1b). Second, we evaluated the associations between safety strategies and the three safety motivations independently (H2a) as well as health strategies and the three health motivations independently (H2b). Next, we evaluated the associations between both safety climate and safety strategies (H3a) and health climate and health strategies (H3b) with each of the three safety and three health motivations independently using multivariable models. To test the synergistic effect of climate and strategies, we included an interaction term. We controlled for tenure, management role, organizational size, and industry. Due to the number of multiple comparisons, we set our significance level to 0.001. All data analyses were performed using SAS Software Version 9.4. Results. Our study sample represented 1,052 workers from 36 businesses. Half worked in the service industry (53%). Respondents were on average 40 years old, college educated (63%), non-Hispanic white (79%), female (64%), and 42% had supervisor duties. Safety motivation. We observed that safety climate was related to all three types of safety motivation (H1a). For example, every one-point increase in safety climate resulted in safety intrinsic motivation increasing by 0.27 points on a five-point scale, 95% CI [0.21, 0.33]. The magnitude of the coefficients was not practically different by type of motivation. Safety strategies were not significantly related to safety motivations as hypothesized (H2a). Additionally, the addition of the interaction term between safety climate and safety strategies was not statistically significant (H3a). Health motivation. We observed that health climate was related to all three types of health motivation (H1b). For example, for every one-point increase in health climate, health intrinsic motivation increased by 0.26 points on a five-point scale, 95% CI [0.20, 0.31]. The magnitude of the coefficients was not practically different by type of motivation. Health strategies were not associated with health motivation as hypothesized (H2b). Additionally, the addition of the interaction term between health climate and health strategies was not statistically significant (H3b). Conclusions/practical implications. Our study indicates that safety/ health climates are associated with multiple types of motivation to participate in TWH strategies, which is consistent with safety climate research. However, strategies were not related to motivation indicating that what organizations are doing to engage employees are not directly associated with how motivated employees are to participate. Future research should investigate the ways in which strategies are measured as well as the quality of strategies. Next steps could also include an investigation of the interaction between health and safety (e.g., do safety/health climates interact to influence safety/health motivations?). In practice, our findings suggest that businesses can increase employee safety/health motivations through consistently communicating the importance of TWH to employees and ensuring TWH policies are used in practice.

TY - Dissertation AU - Holm AKJ AB - While stressors related to teaching are already concerning (AFT, 2017; NIOSH, 2016), particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Hispanic/Latinx teachers likely experience identity-related stressors in addition to occupational stressors (e.g., see NIOSH Occupational Health Equity Program, 2018). According to the Allostatic Load Model (McEwen & Stellar, 1993) and the Minority Stress Model (Meyer, 2006), these combined stressors may lead to increased strain on the body, taking a toll on the overall health and wellness of this group. Using a mixed-methods design, I recruited participants in partnership with the CEA (CEA; teachers union) in November 2020. The sample consisted of 851 Colorado teachers and union members who completed an online survey on their experiences of discrimination, stress, and health in their workplace. Twenty-six of these teachers (most of whom were Hispanic/Latinx or Teachers of Color) were interviewed for 45-60 minutes on these experiences as well as their feelings regarding diversity affinity groups as a practice to celebrate diverse identities in their workplace. First, I found that Hispanic/Latinx teachers experienced more intersectional discrimination than white teachers; however, there were no group differences in workplace discrimination or work-related stress in this study. Secondly, Hispanic/Latinx teachers did not have poorer health than white teachers, though they had marginally poorer health than non-Hispanic Teachers of Color. Finally, while I hypothesized that organizational support would moderate the relationship between workplace discrimination and health conditions, I found that work discrimination did not predict more health conditions/symptoms, but organizational support did predict fewer health conditions/symptoms. Nearly every Hispanic/Latinx interviewee reported workplace hostility, and most had experienced one or more forms of discrimination at work. Many teachers responded favorably to the idea of diversity affinity groups to celebrate diversity and deter feelings of isolation, but there were also several concerns (i.e., the potential for isolation or surface-level efforts) regarding their implementation. While discrimination in the workplace did not impact Hispanic/Latinx teachers' health, these results suggest that organizational support can have a powerful and positive effect on teachers' health, as other occupational literature suggests (Baran et al., 2012). Future research should study these variables longitudinally and outside of a pandemic and consider other implications of discrimination in the workplace besides its effect on health within this population. The results from this dissertation suggest that diversity affinity groups may be an excellent resource for repairing harm and making change, but above all, Hispanic/Latinx teachers simply need to be heard.

Considering two components of modern firefighting PPE through Zuboff's (1998) theorization of information technology, we offer an extended case study that illustrates how these wearables, as interfaces, automate or informate firefighters' practice of safety. Often lauded for their abilities to augment firefighters' work capacities and increase safety outcomes, our analysis revealed that these wearables engender practices that expose firefighters to unforeseen hazards and displace the "tacit craft skills and knowledge" that these workers mobilize to mitigate workplace risk (Spinuzzi, 2005, p. 164). Drawing from these insights, we sketch four points of tension that communication designers, system architects, and practitioners may utilize to consider the informating potential of smart-firefighting PPE equipped with physiological sensors.

Combining years 2009 through 2018, suicide rates per 100 000 population among non-Hispanic AI/AN adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 34 years were 2 to 4 times higher than those of adolescents and young adults of other races and ethnicities. An estimated 14% to 27% of non-Hispanic AI/AN adolescents attempted suicide during that time. The elevated rates of suicidal behavior among non-Hispanic AI/AN adolescents and young adults reflect inequities in the conditions that create health. In this topical review, we describe school-based educational efforts that are driven by local AI/AN communities, such as the American Indian Life Skills curriculum, that teach stress and coping skills and show promise in reducing suicidal ideation attempts and fatalities among AI/AN adolescents. Using a social-determinants-of-health lens, we review the availability and quality of employment as an important influencer of suicidal behavior, as well as the role of the workplace as an environment for suicide prevention in AI/AN communities. Working with tribal, state, local, and federal colleagues, the public health community can implement programs known to be effective and create additional comprehensive strategies to reduce inequities and ultimately reduce suicide rates.

Small businesses, in particular, can benefit from strong leadership support for TWH as the burden of work-related injury, illness and fatality, as well as poor health and well-being is high in this population. In the present study, we conducted a program evaluation of a TWH leadership development program for small business leaders using the RE-AIM framework. The goal of the program was to help change leaders' behaviors around health, safety and well-being practices following the theory of transformational leadership. Two leaders from each business participated in pre-training activities on their own, a 6-h in-person training, and three months of access to virtual training transfer activities, including coaching and goal tracking. Our results suggest that the TWH leadership development program is effective at improving leaders' self-reported TWH leadership practices and that the in-person training was implemented successfully. However, leaders did not report improvements in their personal health and in fact reported increased levels of work stress after the program. We also observed some challenges when implementing our training transfer strategies. Our study suggests that leaders may benefit from attending TWH leadership trainings alongside other colleagues in their organization to facilitate a shared vision and goals for TWH in their organization. As a next step, it will be important to determine the program's effectiveness in changing business TWH policies and practices, employee perceptions of TWH and leadership, and employee health and safety outcomes.

The objective of this study was to determine the attributable risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection from providing ED care, describe personal protective equipment use, and identify modifiable ED risk factors. We hypothesized that providing ED patient care increases the probability of acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study of 1,673 ED physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), nurses, and nonclinical staff at 20 U.S. centers over 20 weeks (May to December 2020; before vaccine availability) to detect a four-percentage point increased SARS-CoV-2 incidence among HCP related to direct patient care. Participants provided monthly nasal and serology specimens and weekly exposure and procedure information. We used multivariable regression and recursive partitioning to identify risk factors. Results: Over 29,825 person-weeks, 75 participants (4.5%) acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection (31 were asymptomatic). Physicians/APPs (aOR 1.07; 95% CI 0.56-2.03) did not have higher risk of becoming infected compared to nonclinical staff, but nurses had a marginally increased risk (aOR 1.91; 95% CI 0.99-3.68). Over 99% of participants used CDC-recommended personal protective equipment (PPE), but PPE lapses occurred in 22.1% of person-weeks and 32.1% of SARS-CoV-2-infected patient intubations. The following factors were associated with infection: household SARS-CoV-2 exposure; hospital and community SARS-CoV-2 burden; community exposure; and mask non-use in public. SARS-CoV-2 intubation was not associated with infection (attributable risk fraction 13.8%; 95% CI -2.0- 38.2%), and nor were PPE lapses. Conclusions: Among unvaccinated U.S. ED HCP during the height of the pandemic, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection was similar in nonclinical staff and HCP engaged in direct patient care. Many identified risk factors were related to community exposures.

Recently, smartwatches that use the device's onboard microphone to measure noise levels were released. This study evaluated the accuracy of these smartwatches in a controlled laboratory setting. For broadband pink noise, a total of 11,441 measurements were collected. The results showed that, on average, the smartwatch reported 3.4 dBA lower than the reference system on average. For the octave-band, a total of 18 449 measurements were collected. The smartwatch measured lower than the reference microphone from the 125 Hz to 1000 Hz octave bands, were somewhat in agreement at 2000 Hz, measured higher sound pressure levels than the reference microphone at 4000 Hz, and then lower at 8000 Hz. Despite not meeting the ANSI criteria for sound level meters, in some cases, these smartwatches still provide a reasonable degree of accuracy and have the potential for use in studies that require the measurement of personal noise exposure over an extended period.

TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Olson, Ryan AB - The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), caps commercial drivers at 11 driving hours per day. Because compensation is dependent on miles traveled, drivers are fiscally incentivized to reach their 11hr limit. Increased driving time means increased sedentary time which is inversely associated with sleep quality. On average commercial drivers get 1-2 hrs less sleep in the truck berth (approx. 6 hrs) compared to at-home. 7-8 hrs of sleep is needed to avoid fatigue and performance deficits. Although commercial drivers crash only 50% as often as passenger drivers, research shows a clear correlation between fatigue and crash risk. Team truck drivers, that work in pairs where one person drives while the other sleeps, are at particularly high risk for sleep disturbances and fatigue. Sleeping in the berth, team drivers experience four times more nightly awakenings than solo drivers. Teams spend most off-duty time in their truck, which can operate for 22/24 hrs daily, leaving minimal opportunities for physical activity. Extended sedentary time, shift work, and whole body vibrations (WBV) converge in a team trucking environment making sufficient sleep difficult to achieve. The health consequences of disturbed sleep and WBV exposure, coupled with the high-risk of fatigued driving, signal need for team driver sleep interventions. Tech4Rest is part of the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center (OHWC), a NIOSH center of excellence in Total Worker Health® (TWH). Informed by the hierarchy of controls for TWH, Tech4Rest (NIOSH U19OH010154) evaluates interventions to improve sleep, health, and well-being for team truck drivers, by assessing truck cab enhancements alone, and combined with a behavioral sleep/health program. The current presentation will report Tech4Rest pilot study results. Methods. Tech4Rest's pilot study had two phases. In phase one (data collection completed) team drivers (four teams; n=8) sequentially evaluated a new coil spring mattress then Thevorelief mattress for 2-3 weeks, with measurements at baseline and during/after each condition. In phase two (data collection underway) four additional teams (n=8) evaluate the mattresses in reverse order then spend 3 months in a multi-component phase including their preferred mattress, a ClearMotion Active Suspension Seat, and a sleep/health program named Fit4Sleep. Prior research has established this seat's vibration and fatigue reducing effects. Modeled on effective interventions, Fit4Sleep is a web-based walking competition involving behavioral self-monitoring (walking, sleep hygiene), health coaching calls, and online training. Measures include self-reported sleep (quality and quantity), fatigue, and well-being. Self-report measures included: PSQI, PROMIS Sleep Related Impairment (SRI), Sleep Hygiene Index, PROMIS Global Health, Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI), Healthy Physical Activity (HPA), and seat/mattress comfort items. Additionally, drivers complete daily pre and post shift surveys, 5-minute Psychomotor Vigilance Tasks (PVT), and wear accelerometers (model [wrist=wGT3x-BT] [hip=GT3X+], ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL) to measure sleep and physical activity. Axivity accelerometers (AX3, Axivity, Newcastle, UK) are placed on the Truck's seat cushion, floor, mattress frame, and mattress top to measure WBV exposures, and a GPS (CR-Q1100P GPS, QSTARZ, Taipei, Taiwan) is installed. Partner companies provide driving logs with work status (on/off duty, driving, sleeper berth), mileage, and potential indicators of performance or fatigue (e.g., miles per gallon, hard braking). Results. At the conference we will report results from the two phaseTech4Rest pilot study (n=16), and can currently report preliminary descriptive results from phase one (n=8). In self-report surveys, total sleep time (range = 6.23 hrs to 6.75 hrs) and sleep quality (range = 1.63 to 2.0 /3.0) were similar across conditions. Analyses of phase one sleep actigraphy and PVT data are underway. Although sleep duration/quality differences have yet to emerge, Thevorelief did reduce sleep related impairment (M=3.75, SD=3.33)) compared to the original (M=7.13, SD=3.64) or coil spring (M=6.88, SD=4.82). On average, participants found Thevorelief more comfortable on a seven point scale (M=6.06, SD=0.58) than the control (M=3.98, SD=1.87) or original mattress (M=2.85, SD=0.97). Additionally, all drivers have kept the Thevorelief, indicating it as their preference. Preliminary WBV results show that Thevorelief may attenuate WBV exposures at 2-4 hz, 12-14 hz, and 27-28 hz frequencies. Differences appear greatest at 12-14 hz. The second phase of the Tech4Rest pilot study, to evaluate the multi-component intervention, is currently underway. Data collection will be completed by May 2019, and results will be available for the conference. DISCUSSION: While preliminary, our results suggest that the Thevorelief mattress is preferred by teams and may reduce sleep related impairment during waking hours. This may be due to its impact on the profile of vibrations to which drivers are exposed, but more data and analyses is needed. With the additional intervention components (Seat, Fit4Sleep) in phase two, we hypothesis that beneficial effects will be additive. Discussion of pilot phase two will emphasize the additive effects of the seat and Fit4Sleep program.

In fact, a previous study of ATV-related occupational deaths utilizing the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries found 61% were in the agriculture production industry, and the ATV-related fatality rate per million workers in agriculture was 143 times greater than all other industries. This study was designed to describe the characteristics of ATV injuries and fatalities by using three different national databases. Methods (if applicable): Data on ATV-related injuries and fatalities during the years 2015-2017 was obtained from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), AgInjuryNews.org (AIN), and Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Results/Findings: We are currently analyzing the data for this ongoing study. A preliminary analysis was performed on FARS, AIN, and NEISS for 2015-2017. By using FARS, we identified 1004 ATV roadway fatalities in 974 crashes. These crashes were mostly single-vehicle (76%) and not a collision with a motor vehicle (77%; overturn/rollover, fall from the vehicle, hit fixed object) crashes. There were 156 fatal and 114 non-fatal agriculture-related ATV injuries by using AIN dataset. Of these injuries, 46% were to youth aged 16 years or younger, and 25% of the victims were using ATV for farm work at the time of the incident. Using NEISS data, an estimated 325,096 ATV-related injuries were treated in U.S. emergency departments from 2015-2017. Almost 30% of these injuries were to youth aged 16 years or younger. Practical Application: By presenting the results from these three datasets, we are hoping to provide a more complete picture of the burden of ATV-related fatalities and injuries. This is much needed to effectively inform injury prevention efforts in rural areas and in agriculture.

TY - Thesis AU - Barnum MB AB - There are many studies demonstrating the health risks associated with low physical activity and sedentary behavior. Considering that much of an adult's time prior to retirement is spent in their work environment, researchers have recognized that sedentary work environments play a significant role in a person's overall level of sedentary behavior and physical activity. Researchers are therefore examining workplace intervention programs aimed to minimize sedentary behavior and improve the overall working environment, including interpersonal and intrapersonal communications between employees and their supervisors. However, in order for this research to positively impact the large population of sedentary workers it is important to assess the feasibility of disseminating the intervention. The purpose of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and an alternate implementation model of the Active Workplace Study, an existing Total Worker Health intervention for call center workers, in a noncall center office setting. The results of the study indicate a slight increase in moderate physical activity at work. Participants underestimated self-reported sitting time overall. In summary the replication of the larger study provided insight into the opportunity for dissemination by demonstrating the need to tailor active workstations for each organization, improved website functioning, and a champion adopter to stimulate and increase the diffusion of the intervention program.

TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Bowles NP AU - Hurtado D AU - Shannon MA AU - Shea SA AU - Watkins SL AB - Introduction: Firefighters endure large occupational burdens (e.g., heat, exposure to toxic fumes, witnessed trauma) and generally operate under conditions of chronic sleep deficiency due to long shifts plus disrupted sleep and circadian disruption due to emergency calls during the night. A typical shift for firefighters is 24-hours on/48-hours off, and firefighters are expected to use time-off to recover from any sleep debt. However, firefighters need to balance that recovery with social/family needs and home maintenance. We conducted focus groups and qualitative analysis of responses to understand how firefighters' sleep recoverability is affected by occupational burdens and home/family dynamics. Methods: Focus groups were conducted via convenience sampling in Portland, Oregon, with full-time firefighters, battalion chiefs, and spouses of firefighters to assess current strategies and coping mechanisms used to manage occupational burdens, home/family obligations, and sleep loss based on their 24-hours on/48-hours off shift schedule. Grounded theory, using NVivo 12 plus, was used to code focus group transcripts to reveal reoccurring concepts that were further grouped into themes. Results: Major themes that emerged among firefighters and spouses (n=48) centered on spousal resentment of firefighters, driven by understanding a firefighters' heroic occupation and need to recover from accumulated sleep loss and shift schedule, but also wanting a partner physically/emotionally present to share home/social responsibilities. While married firefighters discussed choosing family/home obligations over reducing sleep debt to maintain social/family relationships, single and divorced firefighters spoke of fewer conflicts impeding their ability to prioritize sleep at home. Conclusion: This study improves our understanding of how work impacts home life in firefighters and can inform future strategies to address work-family conflict and sleep loss concerns, and highlights the importance of managing expectations of time-off to promote a healthier work-life balance.

TY - Book AU - Brady JM AU - Hammer LB AB - This chapter introduces and describes the precursors to, and evolution of, research and applications to enhance worker well-being and work-life satisfaction. The social historical context is provided throughout this chapter to describe the context which pushed forward the evolution of research about occupational health issues. We first describe worker well-being as a somewhat neglected topic in the field of industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology, as evidenced in this volume where this is only one of two new chapters in this 2nd edition of the history of I-O psychology. With the development of the field of Occupational Health Psychology, worker well-being and work-life satisfaction have continued to advance and have proven to be important areas of focus, with historical roots in Taylorism and the development of unions. Given the impact of the workplace on worker well-being and work-life satisfaction, and the effects of worker well-being and work-life satisfaction being felt not only with regard to the health of workers, but also with its impact on the bottom line of corporations, understanding the historical context is critical for also visualizing the future of the field. Thus, this chapter ends with a discussion of lessons learned from history and future directions.

TY - Newsletter AU - Wild S AU - Wipfli B AB - There is a long-term, global trend towards physical inactivity and sedentary behavior (Kohl et al., 2012) that persists in work and non-work settings. Worldwide, physical inactivity is estimated to be the fourth leading cause of death (Kohl et al., 2012). In the United States in particular, labor force trends have resulted in a steady increase in the prevalence of sedentary jobs and a population level decrease in energy expenditure at work (Church et al., 2011). To date most employers have not treated sedentary work like a traditional safety or health hazard. The reasons for this are likely multifaceted and complex, but one reason may be the lagging consequences of exposure. The impacts of slips, trips, and falls on employee health and organizational expenses, for example, are immediate. However, the consequences of sedentary behavior, which include increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, injury, all-cause mortality, and more (see Tudor-Locke & Schuna, 2012), develop over long periods of time and may not cause an immediate expense for employers. Workplace sedentary behavior is also intertwined with overall sedentary behavior. Employers may view sedentary behavior as something that employees should address during non-work time. But as a place where many people spend 50% of waking hours, the workplace plays a significant role in overall sedentary behavior, and employers should therefore bear some responsibility for reducing exposure to sedentary work. From an employer perspective, as the consequences of sedentary work become clearer and more pervasive, they should proactively protect the health and safety of employees and reduce or eliminate exposure to sedentary work. From a researcher perspective, it is important to identify and disseminate effective strategies for reducing exposure to sedentary work.

Relying on conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll 1989, 2001), this study sought to determine the effects that a supervisor-focused intervention had on supervisor and employee work, well-being, and safety outcomes. Participants included 192 U.S. Forest Service (USFS) workers (125 employees and 67 supervisors). Supervisors in the intervention group completed a computer-based training aimed at teaching behaviors that better support employees' needs and subsequently tracked supportive behaviors for two weeks. Results showed that, for employees, the intervention led to significantly lower psychological distress and less concerns about forest safety. For supervisors, the intervention led to higher work-to-family conflict and lower organizational commitment. Furthermore, supervisor reports of job demands at baseline moderated the intervention's effect on supervisor burnout, such that burnout was higher for those supervisors who reported lower job demands at baseline. Overall, consistent with previous research on supervisor training interventions, employees exhibited positive outcomes from the intervention. Detrimental effects of the intervention for supervisors may have been due to added responsibilities from participation in the training. Suggestions to mitigate potential detrimental effects of supervisor intervention participation are discussed.
